I shouldn't really encourage this non-football type of message but weren't Sham 69 the original Hersham Boys? No idea what the 69 stands for as they formed in 1975.

See this is a toughie, I reckon 'pop will eat itself' is probably one of those obscure Andy Warhol quotes...

 

In short I have no idea, just like Bedford's defence at the moment....

Was it sprayed on a wall (her)Sham 69 and part of it had faded...

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

1. pop will eat itself was taken from a headline in the NME about the band Jamie Wednesday, two of which later became Carter USM.

 

2. Almost Correct - Sham 69 was taken from a peice of grafitti under a railway bridge it originally read "Walton & Hersham 1969" reference to Waltons FA Amatur Cup win that year, it had faded and all that was left was Sham 69.

 

3. Carter the unstoppable sex machine - to quote "His name is Carter (Les Carter AKA Fruitbat) and he did a lot of shagging"

 

4. Neds Atomic Dustbin was taken from a line in The Goons!
